Lenovo NetVista 6649 Video Card
A graphics card processes the input and renders images to the monitor where you can see the results. Integrated video cards are not as good as a dedicated video card, in general. Currently, graphics card maker nVidia is the most popular in the dedicated card market, while AMD is sitting in second place. A dedicated graphics card is usually necessary for any high-end games you play on a desktop like Far Cry, World of Warcraft or Battlefield. Most newer computers should have at least one PCI Express slot available for a graphics card to be installed on the motherboard. There are two types of video cards, integrated and dedicated. An integrated graphic card is built-in to the main board, while dedicated is a separarate piece of hardware that gets installed.
